Electrical issues

so I finally got my M1078 Back from the brake shop . yes I have brakes !. I was driving home about ten minutes in I had an alarm go off so i slowed down to about 15 miles an hour the alarm stopped . thought it was the brake alarm / checked the brakes / still have brakes / not the brake/ so hit Excelerator the alarm went off again. think it might be low oil alarm . any idea's . thank you

The indicator panel will have an idiot light lit telling you the reason for the alarm.

A 1993 it would be an A0 mostly. The Vin number is the closest clue to what you have A0 or A1....... if it starts with an:

"A" then it is an A0.
"A1" then it is an A1...

say "closest clue"; cause on occasion a truck is updated so no matter what the VIN it may be a bit of a hybrid though mostly one or the other... hmmm....... then again...... guess I'm assuming here that an updated truck keeps its original vin. and that may be a wrong assumption. Those in the Know..... when a truck got updated like a few that has been auctioned... do they change to a new vin on those trucks? I doubt it.... but again that is an assumption.

Where can I get some five pin fuses.

 

[Ronmar]

Do you mean 5 pin relays? In 12V at any auto parts store... In 24V they will most likely have to be ordered, some auto parts suppliers may have them...
